The present document provides the protocol details for the Flexible Alerting supplementary service in the IP Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem based on the requirements from
TS 22.173.
Flexible Alerting (FA) causes a call to a pilot identity to branch the call into several legs to alert several termination addresses (group members) simultaneously. The first leg to be answered is connected to the calling party. The other call legs are abandoned.
The present document is applicable to User Equipment (UE) and Application Servers (AS) which are intended to support the FA supplementary service.
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
